Remarks

To create a dialog from the resources defined in Plugin.rc you must switch to plugin resources. To do that you need to add the following code in the beginning of the function that creates the dialog:

	CDialog* pDialog = new CSampleDialog(); // Custom child window
	
	HINSTANCE instance = AfxGetResourceHandle(); 
	AfxSetResourceHandle(mInstance);
	if (pDialog)
		pDialog->Create(CSampleDialog::IDD);
	AfxSetResourceHandle(instance);
